Another beautiful day in Prague. We went over to the Old Town and saw the Astronomical Clock. The clock was built in 1410 at the Old Town Hall. In 1490, it was improved upon by Master Hanus, producing the marvel that is on display today. Go to Google and put in Astronomical Clock and read all about the history of the clock, very interesting.
Our Nephew, Kris, is presently attending the Music School at NYU. He will be studying in Prague starting in Sept. We went today to see where he will be and it is a terrific location, right in the Old Town part of Prague. He will have an experience of a lifetime. Prague is a very musical city and there are concerts every night.
We then had lunch at a nice outdoor cafe right along the river by the Charles Bridge.
Later in the afternoon, we travelled by Funicular Railway to the top of Petrin Hill. This is a famous lookout and you can see all of Prague below. Here is a picture that we took from above. Also included is a street scene that you might like. There are many tourists here now, but nothing compared to June, July, & August, when it really be crowded and hot. We are lucky we came in May, as we hit the right weather. They say last week the weather was bad.
Here are the pics and I believe you will like them.
Best wishes,
Marc & Anita

Thanks for scoping out where Kris is going! It should be awesome for him!
When you are in Vienna ( your going to Vienna right) check out the "Hundredwasser" house. A professor in college told me about it and I have wanted to go forever! Apparently it is pretty neat!
